How to Generate an SSS PRN Online

Quick answer

A PRN (Payment Reference Number) is the number you pay against, so SSS can post the money to your record. Self-employed members, voluntary members, OFWs and non-working spouses generate it in My.SSS under the Payment Reference Number tab. Employed members do not need one, because the employer pays with its own PRN.

What do you need before you start?

A My.SSS account. See how to log in.
The amount you will pay. It depends on your monthly salary credit (MSC); our SSS contribution calculator shows the amount. Land-based OFWs pay on at least PHP 8,000 MSC.
The deadline for your membership type:

What do you need before you start?
Membership type	Deadline
Self-employed, voluntary, non-working spouse	Last day of the month after the month or quarter you are paying for
Land-based OFW, January to September	31 December of the same year
Land-based OFW, October to December	31 January of the next year

Self-employed, voluntary and non-working spouse members cannot pay missed months late. Months not paid by the deadline stay as gaps.

How do you do it, step by step?

1. Log in to My.SSS
2. Open the Payment Reference Number tab and choose Contributions
3. Check your membership type, then pick the applicable period and the amount
4. To add a voluntary MySSS Pension Booster contribution, type it in the Pension Booster field (at least PHP 500)
Leave it empty if you do not want it.
5. Click Generate PRN
The screen shows the PRN, the amount, the period and the due date.
6. Click PDF to download the Statement of Account with the PRN, or click Pay to pay right away inside My.SSS
7
7. Pay the exact amount by the due date
- inside My.SSS through Billeroo, with an e-wallet (GCash, GrabPay or Maya), a credit or debit card, or online banking by QR code (extra charges may apply);
- on a bank or collecting partner website or app, choosing SSS as the biller and entering the PRN as the reference number;
- over the counter at an SSS branch with a teller or an accredited partner such as Bayad Center, ECPay or SM, showing your PRN.
8. Keep the receipt or confirmation email

What if it does not work?

No Payment Reference Number tab, or no contribution option
your record may still show you as employed. Employed members pay through the employer. If you left your job, ask SSS to change your membership type before you pay on your own.
The period you want is not offered
the deadline for that month has passed. Late payments are not allowed for self-employed, voluntary and non-working spouse members.
The payment partner rejects the PRN
check each digit and the amount, and make sure you are paying before the due date shown on the PRN. If it still fails, generate a new PRN.
Paid, but the month is not in your record

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a PRN without My.SSS?

Yes. SSS also gives PRNs through hotline 1455, by email to usssaptayo@sss.gov.ph, and at some payment partners that accept PRN payments when you show a valid ID.

Can OFWs generate a PRN from abroad?

Yes. Land-based OFWs can generate a PRN any time in the year from My.SSS and pay through SSS-accredited channels. OFWs may also pay months in advance. See SSS for OFWs.

Can I pay several months with one PRN?

You choose the applicable period when you generate it. Self-employed, voluntary and non-working spouse members may pay one, two or all months of a quarter.

Can I also generate a PRN on the MySSS app?

Yes. The app has a PRN option for contributions, and it can take payments through GCash, Maya or a debit or credit card.
